I think it has to be "1940-01-05" Please disregard this recommendation as it is patently wrong. You'll get better information by having a look at the SimpleDateFormat API where it will explain everything. As it is, you're setting your date format to the string "yyyy-MM-dd" which means long year - month - day. So there is no way for your current ...

I don't think the code you posted is the code that is creating the error you posted. The error is telling you that the 'A' character is not a valid pattern character for a SimpleDateFormat. Please post an [SSCCE|http://mindprod.com/jgloss/sscce.html]; i.e., the bare minimum amount of code that compiles, runs, and correctly demonstrates only the problem and nothing else (please read the ...

Hello I need help with date formatting. Here is my code. Date date= new Date(); SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'kk:mm:ss.SS'Z'"); PositionReport pr = new PositionReport(); long timeInMilliseconds = pr.getTimeStamp()* 1000; date.setTime(timeInMilliseconds); String time = dateFormat.format(date.getTime()); When I compile I get the error: cannot resolve symbol: method format(long) I get this error at the line that reads: String time = dateFormat.format(date.getTime()); I ...

Hi I am using the following to create a date in ISO format: final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd" ); String dateString = sdf.format( new Date() ); and then using this date string as query parameters. I need to subtract 15 days from today's date , but not sure how to do it. Could you please help me ?

here's the code that I have and for some reason the dateEditor isn't working. Date today2 = new Date(); GregorianCalendar defaultDate = new GregorianCalendar(1, 1, 2000); hiredDate = new JSpinner(new SpinnerDateModel(defaultDate.getTime(), null, today2, Calendar.MONTH)); JSpinner.DateEditor editor2 = new JSpinner.DateEditor(hiredDate, "EEE, MMM dd, yyyy"); hiredDate.add(editor2); It's not printing out right in the JSpinner. Thanks in advanced.

I have taken over a java application. It was at version 1.1.5. I am trying to upgrade to jdk1.5. I have the client GUI up and have most of it working fine but for the following: "Exception in thread 'AWT-EventQueue-O' java.lang.IllegalArgumentException" Cannot format given Object as a Date" at java.text.DateFormat.format(DateFormat.java:279) etc.... i have reached and passed the 'gone crosseyed' state and ...

Hi thanks for the replies. With your help I have managed to get this sorted. Just in case you are interested the date format (mm dd yyyy) is correct, and not (mm-dd-yyyy). I dont know why this is, but it says in the java docs that this is correct and it works. Thanks a lot for the help!

Convert them to dates using SimpleDateFormat, then use the "before", "after", or "compareTo" methods of Date, or use the getTime() method on both dates to get a numeric representation of the date to perform your greater than less than comparison. Then again, also, if your date is already in the form YYYYMMDD then simply convert them to ints and compare then. ...

You seem to be sort of asking about the format of the timestamp and the contents of the timestamp all mixed up together. Let's take the contents first. Create a Calendar object and set its time to equal that of the timestamp. Then call set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 12) and so on to set the time portion to noon. As for the format, if ...

Hello I want to parse String to date. My method is SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"); Then Date date = dateFormat.parse("2007-17-1100 11:11"); It can be seen that the String "2007-17-1100" is invalid date. However, I donot know why it still can be parsed. Result is "Thu May 05 11:11:00 NZST 2011" Could you please explain. I want this one cannot ...

You could use two SimpleDateFormats--one to parse() the first form and the second to format() the second form. Or you could just do the String manipulation directly, since you don't need to know anything about dates or calendars to do that transformation, other than the rules for converting a 2-digit year to a 4-digit one.

From the Javadoc for [SimpleDateFormat - timezone|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html#timezone], using 'z' (lowercase) you need the following format: GMT Sign Hours : Minutes Where hours is 1 or 2 digits, and minutes is 2 digits. Or, using 'Z' (uppercase, for RFC822), you can use: Sign TwoDigitHours Minutes Since your format doesn't match either of these you might need to do some initial work to ...

When I retrieve a date field , it is returned in this format 'Wed Jul 14 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2010'. but I need to display in screen in this format - "MM/dd/yyyy" . Since it is a Date field, I am not able to use parse as string and set it. How to format the date in this case? Thanks..

I've been reading through the Date class in the java document (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Date.html#toString()) and I'm not finding a method that will take in a date/time format string and returns a string according to that format. For example, something like: Date.getDateAndTime("YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss") ...and if you used this in a println statement like this: System.out.println(D.getDateAndTime("YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss")); ...it would print out: 2010-June-24 7:29:42 pm (or ...

I understood the thing you sad but the problem is i have a table in database which has a timestamp as a column and i have a string which is "1276335690000". So i have to convert it into that format(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss) and insert into the table. So inserting it into the table needs this string to be converted into timestamp.

First parse each version with a SimpleDateFormat setting the time zone as appropriate so as to create java.util.Date objects. java.util.Data objects are time zone neutral have an implied timezone of UTC. Then, given a java.util.Data object, you can format() the object with another SimpleDateFormat initialised with your desired format and using your desired time zone.

I cant really work out how to determine if when i should use the 19th or 20th Century. I think this is your problem. You need to get this straight first before you can tell your program what to do. e.g. 02MAR02 could be 2002 or 1902 as you know. Maybe say everything after 50 is considered 20th century and everything ...

I can parse the date by specifying a format like new SDF("yyyy-MM-dd"); if we know the string date has the same format like (1999-09-23), but sometimes the string date may in different formats (i.e. we are not sure in which format), then in that case how do we convert to date that unknown format of date string?

So, JoachimSauer gave you the direct, low-level solution to your problem: SimpleDateFormat (have a look at the documentation at the top to see how to parse the String) But I suggest, if you have any control over that sending program or can talk to the company who's providing that program, to use XML instead of a custom format. The java XML ...

I have a java.sql.Timestamp object which is storing a date and a feature I am trying to implement is for users to change this date and then saving it back. To make it easier to read for the user I have used a DateFormat to display it so the format of the date changes. However, my problem arises as when I ...

Hello, If I get a DateFormat using one of the defined styles and a specific locale, then when I format a value, I will get a string that is composed of the date parts in an order appropriate to the locale, e.g for en-US with a short style, I will get M/d/yy, whereas for other locales I may get d/M/yy.

You don't "convert" dates. You use SimpleDateFormat to display the output as you like.
